int
resource_int_value(const char *name, int unit, const char *resname, int *result);

int
resource_long_value(const char *name, int unit, const char *resname, long *result);

int
resource_string_value(const char *name, int unit, const char *resname, const char **result);

These functions fetch a value from the “hints” mechanism.

The functions take the following arguments:

name
The name of the device to get the resource value from.
unit
The unit number of the device. -1 is special and is used for wildcard entries.
resname
The resource name.
result
A pointer to memory in which to store the resource value.

If successful, the functions return 0. Otherwise, a non-zero error code is returned.

The functions will fail if:

[]
The resource could not be found.
[]
Inappropriate resource type.

device(9), driver(9)
